Page Twenty--Crake

In this episode, we debate whether Jimmy is completely pathetic trash or trash that is worth our sympathy. We continue by hypothesizing whether this dystopian future is merely capitalism run amok. We contrast the differences between the humanities-driven Jimmy and the science-centered Crake and what judgments their characters make about the state of their society. Finally, we lament how Oryx was essentially absent in this section, but in her brief appearance she shuts down Jimmy's attempt to make her feel sympathy for him and his sad life.
